Unusual :WorldToViewportPoint() Behavior

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m working on the framework for a little somethin’ and im making a crosshair point at where the gun will shoot. However, it’s weirdly offset even though everything is properly set with the .5 Anchorpoints and yadda yadda.

I figured out its because the camera gets offset by (2.75, 0.25, 0) every time you aim. I thought the function would go with this since, the camera is moved. but i thought wrong.

i’ve tried various things, mainly with subtracting the offset and all have either had horrible results or had close results but unfavorable at distances.

				local m:Model = character:FindFirstChild(charVar.tool.Name .. "WorldModel")
				local fp:Attachment = m:WaitForChild("Barrel"):WaitForChild("FirePoint")
				
				local result = workspace:Raycast(fp.WorldPosition,fp.WorldCFrame.LookVector*5000,param)
				
				if result then
					
					if gunCurs then
						
						gunCurs.Visible = true
						
						local vect,onscreen = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera:WorldToViewportPoint(result.Position)
						local depth = vect.Z
						
						gunCurs.Position = UDim2.fromOffset(vect.X ,vect.Y)
						gunCurs.Position = UDim2.new(gunCurs.Position.X.Offset/gunCurs.Parent.AbsoluteSize.X,0,gunCurs.Position.Y.Offset/gunCurs.Parent.AbsoluteSize.Y,0)
						
						gunCurs:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("UIScale").Scale = 1 + depth/100
						
					end
					
				end

i ended up creating a fake attachment that had the same offset as the camera with alot of modifications to the code that pretty much ran the same just looked cleaner. I have no clue why i didn’t think of a fake attachment but its whatever.

i should’ve checked into this more, the offset is odd at some angles.
if this post is still open help would be appreciated.
